Parental burnout is a severe disorder resulting from the exposure to chronic stress in the parental role, that can translate into neglectful and violent parental behaviors towards the offspring. This study (N = 1003 parents) aims to examine the relative weight of parental burnout, job burnout, depression, generalized anxiety disorder, borderline personality, sadism, psychopathy, Machiavellianism, narcissism, and child abuse potential, in predicting violence and neglect towards the offspring. Social desirability was controlled. When all predictors are entered together in the model, violence and neglect towards the offspring are best predicted by borderline personality and parental burnout. Our results also indicate that sadism is a robust predictor of violence, however weaker than parental burnout and borderline personality. These results emphasize the importance of preventing parental burnout and supporting parents with borderline personality.
父母倦怠是一种严重的障碍，源于父母角色中慢性压力的暴露，可能会导致对后代的忽视和暴力行为。这项研究（N=1003 名父母）旨在检验父母倦怠、职业倦怠、抑郁、广泛性焦虑障碍、边缘型人格障碍、虐待狂、精神病态、马基雅维利主义、自恋和虐待儿童倾向在预测对子女的暴力和忽视方面的相对重要性。控制了社会期望。当所有预测因子一起输入模型时，对子女的暴力和忽视行为最好由边缘型人格和父母倦怠来预测。我们的研究结果还表明，虐待狂是暴力行为的一个强有力的预测因子，但比父母倦怠和边缘型人格障碍稍弱。这些结果强调了预防父母倦怠和支持有边缘型人格的父母的重要性。
